To learn more about Vancouver College, start by going through our website. Take a virtual campus tour of our Senior School, Middle School and Elementary School. We hold an Open House annually, with our 2026 event taking place on October 20, where prospective parents and students learned about our Faith and Learning Community from our Board Chair, Administrative Team, and a student from this year’s graduating class as well as through interactive Q & A sessions with teachers and coaches.  If you missed the event, you can still find additional resources on our website or reach out to our registrar at registrar@vancouvercollege.ca with any questions.

You’ll also get to know our school community and programs better through our social media pages. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

We encourage you to read through our “Frequently Asked Questions” as some of your questions or concerns may be addressed there; however, if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at registrar@vancouvercollege.ca.

While Vancouver College accepts international students, space for such students is limited given that the school serves the local Catholic community. International Students apply as all other applicants; however, they are required to submit specific supporting documents (in English or officially translated into English).
